So I made my own and added

Easy Pepperoni Pasta Salad makes for a great school lunch or work lunch. Easy to make & tastes great! My kids have gone back to school, so I’m back to making school lunches. Both of my kids schools are nut free due to kids with allergies so I’m having to be more creative with lunches. My oldest would seriously eat peanut butter and jelly everyday but since that’s not an option, I’m forced to come up with new ideas. Don’t think I’m complaining though, the health of those with allergies is more important than my laziness with lunch! This pasta

Baked Ziti is a great twist on lasagna. It has amazing flavor and has tons of cheese. It’s perfect served with garlic bread. Recently Dear Friend and Little Thing moved in with us. We don’t know what this adventure will hold. But so far it has been good. Dear Friend has help with Little Thing and I have help keeping the house clean. Having someone to do the dishes after I’ve made dinner or canned something is fantastic. Sometimes I feel bad for the giant mess I’ve made, but it hasn’t stopped me yet. It was also great to have

Green Chile Penne is a yummy & easy family dinner. It’s great for a fast weeknight dinner. We eat a lot of pasta at our house. I mean a lot of pasta! And a lot of the pasta we eat is what I call “homemade hamburger helper.” Basically, I like to combine hamburger and pasta and whatever other flavors we have on hand or that sound good to me. This green chile penne was one of those creations and it turned out so well that I just had to share the recipe with you. The whole family loved it

Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni is a great 30 minute meal when you are short on time or energy. I have been canning my brains out. Tomatoes. Oh the tomatoes. At this point, I don’t want to see tomatoes for a long time. But I am sure I will be happy to have the canned tomatoes this winter. Pepper. The Hardworking Husband is excited about the canned jalapeños. And as I write this we are smoking peppers to make chipotle powder out of them. I also have canned pumpkin. I still need to can butternut squash and more pumpkin. With all

Soccer season is also upon us and I have three playing soccer!! So we are busy, busy, busy! So it’s time to pull out the easy but filling weeknight dinner again.

Southwestern Macaroni Salad – Easy, Delicious, and made with no Mayo, this macaroni salad is a hit for bbq’s or just a weeknight dinner. June! Already! Can you believe it!?! It seems like it was just Christmas and now it’s already summer. But I am so looking forward to summer. No school, time in the yard, and a whole lot of playing with the kids. But with summer comes the desire to not cook as much, to have easy meals or sides, and bbq’s and picnics. I made this southwestern macaroni salad for a church picnic. I thought it

Creamy Chicken and Asparagus Pasta is a delicious pasta dish. The cream is so wonderful, and the asparagus and bacon give it a fantastic mix of textures. Every month when I make the menu, I pick a new meal or two for us. And once again that new meal turned out to be a really good one. I wasn’t sure if The Hardworking Husband was going to like it. He’s not a huge fan of pasta and we all know he doesn’t like chicken. But he does like bacon and asparagus. But he loved it. The creamy sauce of this

Does your family love pizza & pasta? Why not put them together and try this Supreme Pizza Pasta?! This is one of our favorite weekend night dinners around here and better yet it often using up leftover ingredients, I have in my fridge or pantry from other meals I’ve made. I call it Pizza Pasta since it has all the pizza toppings I love in it. And I change up exactly what I put in it, depending on what I have in my fridge and who is eating with us. Also I like to keep the cheese on this
